1200$usd bundle at gamestop

[jvd]

Are you saying that these bundles are available at your store? Are they forced or optional?

NO those are website only . We got a call from our district manager telling us how insane he thought that someone actually reserved these through the website .


At gamestop stores u just have to preorder the system. They figure if your in the store picking up the system your most likely buying games and controllers and what not there also .

Gamestop.com and ebgames.com do no make money off the system and thus they want to insure that you buy money making items from them. This is how the bundle pack was formed.

Thanks jvd, I'm pretty sure my colon just seized there for a second

While I rarely dip into the console forum, allow me to impart my ribald sense of humor here by dubbing this as "bundlefucking." You heard it here first, kids.

They really need a "build your own bundle" option where you get to select your 2 to 5 games.

 

[Wiseblood]

What's the "play and charge kit"? Is it the USB cable to attach wireless controllers to the system to charge the battery pack?

If so, why the hell isn't this cable included with either the controller OR the battery pack? Fucken money-scammers, how the hell is one supposed to charge the battery pack if the cable to do it is yet another separately sold item? Jesus H. C... They apparantly weren't kidding when they said they wanted to make a profit this time 'round.

The play & charge kit is the cable + battery pack.

The wireless controllers by default use AA batteries.

Why do you need a bundle? If the bundle's don't save you any money just buy the console and whatever games you want. To me the only reason for bundles is to save people money from the full cost, getting them to spend more than they would otherwise.

Not everyone who can buy stuff like that is rich. 10 years ago, I would have bought it, even though I was working at a job making only $12 per hour. I was single, I lived in a very low-rent apartment, my car was paid off, no credit debt, the only thing I had to pay for was $350 per months in rent, gas, food, electricity, phone, and cable TV bill.

I was only making about $25k per year, but I had an easy $10k per year of luxury money. It's more of a matter of your situation than it is the amount you earn.

Yeah..but the way I'm thinking is...you could buy a used car, 61" HDTV or a down payment on an apartment etc etc ...and the fact that it seems very excessive makes it more unbelievable (who wants to get all those games...I wouldn't even have the time).

Well, I don't really need a bundle, but it's obvious that some retailers are going to milk the initial release by requiring bundles. So if the retailer has a bundle with the actual games I was going to buy anyway, then it doesn't matter if I don't save any money.

It´s ridiculous how much money people spend on launch systems. I usually just get the core system, a memory card and a game 8 months or so after it has launched.

At least I already have my memory card for PS3 (256MB SD card).

 

[Guden Oden]

it should be named OHMYGOD bundle...jeez..

No, the ohmygod bundle is released a year after console debut, it has ALL of the good launch games ("xbox360 classics") and THREE EACH of all the crappy unsellable launch titles ("to give away to your friends for christmas!").

Hey good point I already have my 512MB Duo card too. HA!! nice savings for me.

 

[jvd]

I have a 512 meg memory stick pro. Have a bad feeling it wont work after the psp though .
